A TEENAGE girl ended-up stuck on the roof of a semi-detached house after toppling though a loft window.

The fifteen-year-old was left precariously perched with her feet in the guttering about 20ft up after accidentally falling at just after 11pm yesterday.

Fire crews were called to the house in Causeway Green Road, Oldbury, after her frantic mother dialled 999. Crew commander Ian Nash, of Oldbury fire station, said: "It appears the girl was trying to close a window in a loft conversion.

"She reached out a bit too far and lost her balance and fell out onto the pitched roof. She was sliding down the tiles and was getting into a bit of a panic when we arrived because I think she thought she was going to fall and was going down instead of trying to climb up.

"When we arrived her mum was in the street waiting or us and flagged us down.

"I dashed inside and one of my fellow firefighters grabbed my legs so that I could lean out of the window. She was quite far down and I had to half lean out to reach her. Luckily I managed to grab her hands and pull her back in."

He said the girl was very shaken, but uninjured. She was later taken to hospital for checks by her family.

Crew commander Nash added: "She was a bit dirty and cold since she was only wearing her pyjamas and she was very relieved to say the least when we pulled her back inside."
